Reconnect with nature

Addiction experts are taking notice, as the health consequences of the sometimes pathological use of computer games and social media can be dramatic. The solution is obvious: get out of the virtual world and into the untouched nature of Osttirol. Because nature conveys peace, balance and promotes creativity. There is hardly a better place for this than the Oberhauser Zirbenwald, the largest contiguous Swiss stone pine forest in the Eastern Alps. The essential oils of the stone pines have a relaxing effect, not to mention the birdsong and the clearair. But the best thing is the forest wilderness camp for kids. For two days, they go on an expedition into the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern with the rangers, follow the tracks of wild animals and go in search of food. The children use all their senses. They touch, taste, smell, walk barefoot and listen to the voices of the forest. Along the way, nature becomes their greatest teacher and the children become real adventurers. Afterwards, they will know what the forest has to offer.
